‘Sometimes I wish I was someone else. A brawny bronze Hercules. Aphrodite stepping out of the bath. A stout little Hammurabi. Or a powerful goddess like you. But no. I’m just a refreshingly banal ornamental sculpture.’ Tired of being a banal architectural ornament, a sculpture runs away from the Louvre to confront real life on the streets of Paris.

Francisco Fino began its activities in 2012 with the presentation of exhibitions in cultural spaces in the city of Lisbon. Operating in different territories – museological institutions and commercial establishments – the gallery presented itself, in the early years, in a nomadic format, in line with the dynamic of mobility of the contemporary art system. The proposed programme, with exhibitions of artists such as Fernanda Gomes, David Maljković, and Tris Vonna-Michell, among others, positioned this mobile gallery project as a nonstop platform of presentation, diffusion and promotion of national and international contemporary art. In 2017, Galeria Francisco Fino settled into a fixed location, while continuing to position itself within the full breadth of cultural geography through partnerships with diverse institutions and events that form the artistic network. The representation of artists of various nationalities is linked to a programme of cultural research, anchored in the production of critical discourse.
